Descripción
We present a study of the properties of radial conformal Killing fields
(RCKF) in conformally flat space-times, pointing out its interest in
kinematical cosmology.
i) Robertson-Walker space-times are characterized as those conformally
flat metrics admitting a geodesic RCKF.
ii) The conformal factor of space-times that admit a RCKF with
homogeneous expansion is obtained.
iii) The existence of a radial conformal motion with orthogonal 3-spaces
of constant sectional curvature is analyzed as a cosmological
hypothesis.
